"How We
Are Hungry is a gripping, lyrical, always intensely soulful group of stories
written over the past four years. Though they range from a doomed Irish setters
tales of running and jumping ("After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I
Drowned") to a bitterly comic meditation on suicide and friendship ("Climbing
to the Window, Pretending to Dance"), the stories share a haunting and haunted
sense of mortality. Though full of bursts of levity and humor, the book is
deeply informed by the troubled times in which it was written.
This
collection includes many never -before-published stories, and all
previously- published stories have been significantly revised."
